    He's our backup QB and we've actually had worse QBs start games for us in the past.

    I actually don't agree, because I don't think Ivory's production has diminished bc of taking hits.

    I think he needed to get going which is why he was still in there. I also think his lack of production recently has been bc of his reads.

    I had no problem with it.

    I was wondering a similar thing. Why not put Ridley in to finish the game. If he can not help us even on garbage time then why even have him on the roster. Bohanon, although not great, has actually provided some decent blocking that goes largely unnoticed because of our weak OL.

    Why are we playing with fire.

    Just let Ridley finish the game.

    Hell let Bohanan run out the clock.

    I wanted to see Ridley and Bryce in there. I know Bryce didn't dress. No reason to let Ivory get meaningless carries.

    How about Decker returning a punt with 3 minutes left?

    I think they need to instruct him to fair catch everything.

    I guess they need a sure handed guy so no fumbles.

    Have to finish out the game.

    Chris Ivory came down with food poisoning last night...I'd say he played through it quite well. #NYJ

    Decker returning punts is like Kerley returning punts is like Jimmy Leonhard returning punts.

    If your GM doesn't bother to buy you a punt returner, your only real option is to put the most sure handed receiver back there and tell him only to run if he sees a hole.

    Yeah he's not good at it, but I meant the injury factor to your #2 WR returning punts in a blowout with 3 minutes left, not smart

    What other sure handed receivers do we have at this point? Or players period? Stokes is right, you put Decker back there and say "listen motherfucker, stop getting cute and fair catch the fucking ball. You're not Devin Hester."

    I agree, but I didn't want him getting injured when the game was decided already

    I definitely felt the same way when I first saw him back there. But I understand the logic behind it. Once he caught it without FCing, I was horrified about the possible consequences.

    And maybe also tell him not to field it from the 5 yard marker.
